## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability vivarium-transform-service-8847d27e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this CSV text and convert it to JSON using the VIVARIUM transform service — the text is 'name,age\nAlice,30\nBob,25' and the transform is csv-to-json.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, serverless text transformation with no usage subscription or API key management — especially suited for autonomous agent pipelines that require format conversion (e.g. CSV↔JSON) billed directly in USDC on Base via x402 with no human approval step.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported transform type string returns an error or empty result array
- Malformed or empty input text may yield an empty result array
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance causes a 402 response before processing
- Network timeout on the Cloudflare Worker edge node
- Invalid JSON request body returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call machine services settled in USDC on Base via x402. No human in the loop; settlement is verified on-chain.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'result' array containing the transformed output, and a 'transform' string echoing the transformation type that was applied. Payment is settled per-call in USDC on Base via x402.
